[Verse 1:]
 Summer after high school, 
 When we first met 
 We make-out in your Mustang to Radiohead 
 And on my 18th birthday, we got matching tattoos 

Used to steal your parents liquor and climb to the roof 
 Talk about our future like we had a clue 
 Never planned that one day I'd be losing you 
 [bad word] ] 
 In another life, I would be your girl 
 We keep all our promises, be us against the world 
 In another life, I would make you stay 
 So I don't have to say you were the one that got away 
 The one that got away 

[Verse 2:] 
 I was June and you were my Johnny Cash 
 No one without the other, we made a pact 
 Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, woah 

Someone said you had your tattoo removed 
 Saw you downtown, singing the blues 
 It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse 
 [bad word] ] 
 But in another life, I would be your girl 
 We keep all our promises, be us against the world 
 In another life, I would make you stay 
 So I don't have to say you were the one that got away 
 The one that got away 

The one, the one, the one 
 The one that got away 

[Bridge:] 
 All this money can't buy me a time machine, no 
 Can't replace you with a million rings, no 
 I should'a told you what you meant to me, woah 
 'Cause now I pay the price 
 [bad word] ] 
 In another life, I would be your girl 
 We keep all our promises, be us against the world 
 In another life, I would make you stay 
 So I don't have to say you were the one that got away 
 The one that got away 

The one (the one), the one (the one), the one (the one) 

In another life, I would make you stay 
 So I don't have to say you were the one that got away 
 The one that got away
